Hey everyone! We were at Gamescom last week (in the business area), and we had a lot of exciting news that we shared with journalists that we want to share with you today!

First of all, this was the first time that we've had a booth of this kind of quality, and we were so proud of it! This is why we would like to thank you guys for making Northgard a successful game and for participating in the growth of Shiro Games It's so satisfying for us to see that our work is paying off, and it's at this kind of event that we see the evolution of our beloved indie studio. This is only the start of the Shiro Games adventure, and your support drives us onward. So that's why during the last few months, we prepared a lot of new exciting content that we hope you will enjoy as much as we enjoyed creating them. Let's start with the news!

Northgard Conquest

We know that you were waiting for the next huge update of Northgard, and it's coming! We're proud to present you the 3rd major free update, and the biggest one: Northgard Conquest. Forget the lore, choose your clan, and let's fight! Northgard Conquest is a standalone game mode that can be played solo or co-op, with a succession of various missions offering a gaming expansion of +100 hours. The difficulty of the co-op mode will be based on strong collaboration between players The missions are completely independent between themselves and will challenge you with specific victory conditions and rules for each mission. Challenges examples

• Valdemar the Cursed:
  • Defeat a powerful boss in an undead infested land.
• Winter Has Come:
  • Permafrost map with blizzards every winter.
• The Uprising:
  • Ragnark map with numerous and very aggressive Myrkalfars.

These missions are completely adapted to the strengths of the clans, which means that you'll get adapted missions depending on if you start the Wolf's campaign and then the Stag's one. As you progress through your conquest you'll get to choose specific rewards to power up your clan and help you win the next mission (only work in Conquest mode). If you succeed to beat the entire campaign of a clan, you'll get a marvelous Townhall skin you'll be able to use in the online mode.
Northgard Conquest is planned for Fall 2019, you'll get more information about it very soon!
